BBL: Islamic state coming to Mindanao? - MNNOnline.org - June 9th, 2015 Moro Islamic Liberation Front militant (Photo, caption) "Part of the objective is to have a caliphate there that would include part of Mindanao and then part of Indonesia, but [it] would probably be a lot broader than that,” Van Valkenburg says. In 2013, Muslim extremists killed a Christian pastor trained by one of this director’s Bible schools. Two of the pastor’s daughters, ages 6 and 8, were also murdered."

Villagers in the Christian town of Wao, Lanao del Sur said on Sunday that they would reject the deal between Malacañang and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) and refuse to be included in the proposed Bangsamoro territory.
